Legend Glasker has an Opportunity to Rebound
BYU wide receiver Legend Glasker is RotoBaller's 33rd-ranked wide receiver as he and the Cougars get set to take on the Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday. Glasker was limited to just three receptions for nine yards during a slim win over TCU a week ago, during which he also totaled 26 yards on four carries, with a long rush of 16 yards. The dual threat is projected to score 10 fantasy points against Iowa State, which allowed West Virginia wide receiver DJ Epps to finish with four receptions for 114 yards, an average of 28.5 yards per reception, and a touchdown during a 45-43 Cyclones win in Week 5.

T.J. Hockenson Could Stay Busy With Teammate Injured
Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson had a monster game in Week 4, hauling in all 13 targets for 119 yards in the 15-10 win over the Miami Dolphins. With star receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) out, Hockenson led the team in targets and played 83% of snaps. Despite a slow start, hauling in just nine passes for 76 yards and a touchdown in the first three games, Hockenson operated as the lead receiver and showed strong chemistry with quarterback Kyler Murray. With Minnesota on bye in Week 6, the Vikings could be cautious with Jefferson if he isn't fully recovered from his ankle sprain. Even if Jefferson is active, Hockenson should be a viable option against a struggling New Orleans Saints defense in Week 5.

Charlie Becker a Top-10 Play in Week 6
After his second 100-plus-yard performance of the season, Indiana wide receiver Charlie Becker is RotoBaller's 10th-ranked wide receiver in Week 6. The Hoosiers are preparing to face Nebraska, which allowed Maryland wide receiver Chris Durr Jr. to record a big day consisting of seven receptions for 149 yards and a touchdown, with a long reception of 65 yards. Becker is projected to score 14.4 fantasy points against the Terrapins. He is coming off an eight-reception, 107-yard, two-touchdown effort in a win over Rutgers this past week, averaging 13.4 yards per reception and recording a long catch-and-run of 48 yards.

Tre Tucker Should be Rostered with Raiders Playing Well
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has been a key part of the team's passing offense and could be a flex option moving forward. Tucker has hauled in 15 of 23 targets for 233 yards and a touchdown over four games this season. He has played 64% of snaps and run 78% of routes so far in 2026. Heading into the year, the question marks around Tucker were not about his usage in the offense; they were about quarterback Kirk Cousins and whether he could be productive in his 15th season. Through four games, Cousins ranks 11th in passing yards (1,026), 13th in completion percentage (64.6%), and first in passing touchdowns (11). With Brock Bowers as the de facto WR1, Tucker's floor is low, but given Cousins' performance under head coach Klint Kubiak, Tucker should remain a startable piece in deeper leagues.

Reed Harris Projected to Continue Red-Hot Start
Arizona State wide receiver Reed Harris is RotoBaller's second-ranked wide receiver entering his team's matchup against Hawai'i on Saturday night. Harris has been one of the top pass catchers in all of college football this season, coming off a seven-reception, 125-yard performance during a loss to Baylor. He has recorded 26 receptions, 499 yards receiving and five touchdowns in four games this year. Harris is projected to score 26.4 fantasy points against a Rainbow Warrior defense that allowed San Jose St. wide receiver Carson Clark to finish with five receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown in a Week 5 win for the Spartans.

Eagles Injuries Could Set Dontayvion Wicks Up for Major Role
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks should see an expanded role in the offense with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) sidelined. In Week 4, Wicks caught just three of five targets for 18 yards in the 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, facing a tough matchup against cornerback Trent McDuffie. Despite the off game, he played 56 of 61 snaps (92%) and ran 31 of 32 routes (97%). With injuries to running backs Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (core), along with Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert (knee), Wicks may be the only target left in this depleted offense. He faces the Jacksonville Jaguars' defense in London, which has allowed the most receiving yards to wide receivers in 2026, including big games for Tee Higgins and Jaylen Waddle in two of the last three weeks. Given the Eagles' significant number of offensive injuries, Wicks could be a strong FLEX play in Week 5 and should be rostered in all formats.

Kenyon Sadiq Still Worth a Roster Spot After Week 4 Dud
New York Jets rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq has been a focal point of the team's passing attack, despite a quiet Week 4 performance in the 23-12 loss to the Chicago Bears. In four games to start his NFL career, Sadiq has hauled in 12 of 18 targets for 143 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 8.2 half-PPR fantasy points per game. With Mason Taylor (thumb) inactive, Sadiq played 22 of 32 snaps (69%), ran 12 of 18 routes (67%), and led the team in targets (4). With the Jets dominated by the Bears in Week 4, it was nearly impossible for any player to produce with only 32 offensive snaps. With no timetable for Taylor's return, Sadiq will remain a focal point in New York's offense and should be rostered in all formats despite the tough outing.

Jakobi Meyers Offers Upside as Jaguars Head to London
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has been the team's second WR this season and is in a pair of favorable matchups the next two weeks. He has actually played more snaps than any other WR for the Jags, although Parker Washington is getting more targets. Meyers has two touchdowns in his four games this season and has 10 catches for 97 yards in the last two weeks in wins over the Patriots and Bengals. He can be a deep-league FLEX option in the next two weeks as the Jaguars face the Eagles and the Texans in their two games in London. Both the Eagles and Texans rank in the top 10 in most fantasy points allowed to receivers this season, and Meyers is involved enough to bring upside from the waiver wire if you need short-term help at the position due to bye weeks or injuries.

Damon Severson Expected to Make Season Debut Friday
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Damon Severson (shoulder) is expected to make his season debut this week, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. On Monday, Blue Jackets head coach Rick Bowness said he expects Severson to be available on Friday against Pittsburgh. Severson has missed Columbus' first two games of the season due to shoulder surgery. The team has allowed seven goals without him in the lineup. Severson's return will improve the defense. He'll also boost the offense after a 32-point season. Denton Mateychuk's ice time will likely decrease significantly with Severson's return.

Darius Acuff Jr. Scores 19 Points in Kings Preseason Debut
Sacramento Kings guard Darius Acuff Jr. scored 19 points in Monday's 127-103 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, adding two rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 27 minutes. The No. 7 overall pick shot 8-for-17 from the field and 1-for-4 from three while scoring 17 points before halftime. It was an encouraging response after Acuff shot just 35.0 percent during Summer League. Zach LaVine played only 15 minutes, giving the rookie extended time to run the offense. If Acuff holds a sizable point-guard role, his scoring and assist production could make him useful quickly.

LaMelo Ball Sharp in Timberwolves Preseason Debut
Minnesota Timberwolves guard LaMelo Ball recorded 11 points, four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 116-97 preseason win over Milwaukee. Ball shot 3-for-6 from the field, 2-for-5 from three, and 3-for-3 at the line while starting alongside Anthony Edwards. Minnesota kept its regulars on the bench after halftime, limiting the first look at its new backcourt. Edwards praised Ball afterward for getting everyone involved. Ball averaged 20.1 points and 7.1 assists across 72 games last season, and his playmaking should remain a major part of Minnesota's offense.

Connor Brown Won't Play This Week
New Jersey Devils right wing Connor Brown (lower body) will remain on the shelf this week. He was injured in practice last week and hasn't yet played in any games this season. It's now confirmed that the Devils also won't have Brown on Tuesday against Utah or Saturday against Vancouver. Brown had a solid 43-point campaign in 2025-26 and is definitely missed by the Devils, who have scored only three goals in their first two games of the season. Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe said Monday that Brown is "ramping up," so he could be available soon.

Romeo Doubs Starting to Click in New England
New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs is starting to get into a rhythm with quarterback Drake Maye after a rough start to the season, and he's worth a look if you need wide receiver help from the waiver wire. Doubs started the year with a tough drop and a zero-catch game in Seattle but has been looking more comfortable in the Pats' offense the last few weeks. Against the Bills in Week 4, he led the team with six catches on a team-high nine targets, and he hauled in a pair of touchdowns to help his team pull off the road upset in the division. Doubs got some extra attention after Mack Hollins (calf) left the game with an injury, and he had a big fantasy performance as a result, even if Efton Chism III stole the headlines with his spectacular, game-winning touchdown grab. With Hollins uncertain for this week's contest against the Raiders and A.J. Brown (ankle) not eligible to return until Week 6, Doubs is a strong plug-and-play option from the waiver wire if available. Even though the Raiders have been solid against wide receivers this season, Doubs should be in position to get enough volume to still be a starting option in most formats.

Anthony Edwards Leads Wolves with 14 Points in Preseason Opener
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards scored a team-high 14 points in Monday's 116-97 preseason win over Milwaukee, adding four rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in 18 minutes. He shot just 4-for-13 from the field and 1-for-7 from three but went 5-for-5 at the line before Minnesota rested its starters after halftime. LaMelo Ball assisted on two of Edwards' four baskets, offering an early glimpse of the new backcourt. Edwards averaged a career-high 28.8 points last season, and Ball's playmaking gives him another creator who could ease some of his shot-making burden.

Tank Dell Can Be a Great Depth Stash
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) is expected to return to practice this week, as the team opens his three-week practice window to return from IR. The speedster made a big fantasy impact for Houston in both 2023 and 2024 before season-ending injuries cut short both seasons. His knee injury in 2024 was so catastrophic that he missed all of the 2025 season and is still finishing his recovery. In his absence, the Texans have rotated multiple receivers behind Nico Collins, but none has seized the full-time No. 2 receiver job. Dell could work his way back into that role if he shows he still has the big-play potential he displayed prior to his injury. He's a high-risk pickup since his return is still uncertain and he may be eased back in, but if you have the roster flexibility, Dell brings enough upside to be worth holding in deep leagues.
